ABOUT

Overview

This project involved a commercial building in the United Kingdom with a site area of 5,947.22 m². The client required an accurate BIM model of the architectural and structural elements, built from scan and point cloud data.

Scan to BIM Services UK modelled the complete exterior and two retail units inside the building in Revit, at LOD 300 and delivered the work within the agreed timeframe.

PROJECT SCOPE

The Brief

The objective was to develop an LOD 300 3D Revit model of the architectural and structural elements of the building using the scans and point cloud data provided. The scope covered both the exterior and selected interior areas.

01

Exterior scope

  • Roof, including gutters, downpipes and dormers
  • Walls and curtain walls
  • Overhangs and railings, where present
  • Facade details such as wall sweeps and window trims
  • Doors, windows and exterior columns
  • Material specifications and loadable or in-place families
02

Interior scope

Two units within the building were to be modelled in full:

  • Flying Tiger: first and second floors
  • Topshop: ground, first and second floors

The interior elements included walls, doors, windows, staircases, railings, curtain walls and their details, columns, escalators, elevators, ceilings and floors.

OUR PROCESS

Our Approach

Step 01

Review of Scan and Point Cloud Data

We reviewed the scans and point cloud data to understand the extent of the building and plan the exterior and interior modelling.

Step 02

Exterior Modelling in Revit

The building envelope was modelled in Revit, including the roof, walls, curtain walls, facade details, doors, windows and columns, with loadable and in-place families used where required.

Step 03

Interior Unit Modelling

The two retail units were then modelled floor by floor, covering the interior walls, openings, staircases, escalators, elevators, ceilings and floors and the detailed Revit 3D model was delivered.

RESULT

The Outcome

Scan to BIM Services UK delivered a detailed LOD 300 Revit 3D model of the building’s exterior and both interior units within the stipulated timespan.

The client was pleased with the coordinated model and appreciated the quality of the deliverables.
